In March 1940, the spring breeze brings warmth and everything revives.
"Several people, I see you are so dusty and seriously injured. Where did you come from?" an old man from asked in surprise.
"I'm going to tell the villagers that the three of us are soldiers of the New Fourth Army. They were injured in war with the Japanese and unfortunately got separated from the main force." New Fourth Army soldiers smiled bitterly and shook their heads:
"We found out that the main force was heading in this direction, so we wanted to try our luck and ask for a way. I wonder if you know where the main force of the New Fourth Army is? How can we find the main force?"

The old man responded positively: "Then you asked the right person, go to Mangdang Mountain . I went there to deliver supplies some time ago."
"Thank you, old man." New Fourth Army soldiers hurriedly stood up to thank him. After saying goodbye to the local villagers, they hurriedly ran towards Mangdang Mountain.
can make villagers in Moshan Village unexpectedly, the 3,000th Japanese army came out in full swing and began to encircle Mangdang Mountain, almost destroying the entire guerrilla army.
What's going on? Is there any problem with the New Fourth Army soldiers who asked for directions? Otherwise, why is it so coincidental? As soon as they asked about the road, the Japanese army was aiming directly at Mangdang Mountain?
Japanese Army
1937, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army relied on their strong ships and powerful guns, and took advantage of the reactionary government's passive resistance to Japan, and their fear of war was unstoppable. In less than half a year, they lost a large area of China's territory.
In May 1938, the Japanese army's iron hooves stepped into Yongcheng, Henan. Comrade Lu Yuting, a patriotic revolutionary patriot, was unwilling to become a slave to the country. He exploded in silence and led 17 warriors who were not afraid of difficulties and dangers to quietly penetrate into the Mangdang Mountain area, establishing the Yongcheng Anti-Japanese Guerrillas and leading the Anti-Japanese War.

Lu Yuting is a native of Henan. He was born in a scholarly family. He was admitted to the Henan School of Political Science and Law at the age of 16 with excellent results.
Seeing the warlords fighting, the mountains and rivers were broken, the people lived in dire straits, and they lamented that their predecessors had difficulty starting their own businesses, but later generations did not want to make progress, had no talent, which led to the destruction of their family business. So they decided to abandon their literature and follow the martial arts, and at the age of 19, they entered the Kaifeng Soldiers School in Henan Province. In the autumn after 2002, Lu Yuting graduated from school and was directly appointed as the chief of military law enforcement officer . In 1925, Lu Yuting made countless contributions in the Zhifeng War and was promoted to the position of chief of military law and chief secretary of the headquarters the following year.
At the same time, because Lu Yuting supported the revolutionary pioneer Mr. Sun Yat-sen, he proposed the policy of unification of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and cooperated to build a country, and was promoted to the mayor of Wu'an County, Hebei.

1937 in the Japanese army launched the Lugou Bridge Incident. After the 8-year-old War of Resistance Against Japan broke out, , Lu Yuting quietly formed 8 security groups in Hebei under the name of training, and applied to go to the anti-Japanese front to participate in the war, but it was not approved.
Soon after, Baoding, Hebei was lost to the hands of the Japanese army. Lu Yuting was discouraged and brought his wife and children back to his hometown in Yongcheng, Henan.
In November of the same year, under the central coordination and recommendation of Li Zongren, , after Lu Yuting was appointed as Yongcheng County Mayor , he began to frequently deliver report speeches on anti-Japanese and national salvation throughout the county, which achieved great success and set off a wave of anti-Japanese war in the county.

But the good times did not last long. In May 1938, was defeated and fell due to Chiang Kai-shek's inaction by the Nanjing National Government .
Lu Yuting was unwilling to become a slave to the country, so he led 17 patriotic warriors to sneak into Mangdang Mountain to lead the anti-Japanese war. With the assistance of patriotic revolutionary patriots such as Wang Zhuoran and Chen Jianping, he established an anti-Japanese base in Mangdang Mountain and established a Yongcheng anti-Japanese guerrilla team.
Chiang Kai-shek
When the anti-Japanese guerrillas were first established, although there were few major generals and weak strength, because Lu Yuting was not afraid of power and dared to fight the Japanese army. In less than a year, Lu Yuting led the guerrillas to participate one after another, and fought in Taipingji, Kongzhuang, Night Attack Huoshendian, Lianghewa ambush and other battles.
Guerrillas were trained on the battlefield of life and death, and their strength developed rapidly. They soon had 2 local regiments and an independent battalion, and their troops also increased to more than 3,000 people, which has become an anti-Japanese force in Yongcheng, Henan that cannot be ignored.
During the period, Lu Yuting relied on selling his ancestral property to purchase guns, ammunition and medicines for anti-Japanese war, and gave pensions to the orphans of the martyrs. This noble sentiment of noble character and noble relief for the country also allowed Lu Yuting to accumulate great reputation in Henan and has a high status among the people.
Lu Yuting
At the beginning of 1939, under the recommendation of the anti-Japanese general Peng Xuefeng, Lu Yuting sent more than 30 confidants to the Suiying School founded by the New Fourth Army Detachment to learn the advanced patriotic thoughts of the Communist Party Hong Kong , and at the same time, he also accepted Communist Party members to his Yongcheng guerrillas to start training classes.
During this period, Lu Yuting's body and mind were baptized, and developed a strong desire to join the Communist Party. In November of the same year, Lu Yuting personally visited Comrade Zhang Zhen, the chief of staff of the New Fourth Army Detachment: applied to join the Communist Party and incorporated the Yongcheng Anti-Japanese Guerrillas into the New Fourth Army. At the end of August, after the party organization's strict teaching examination and review, Lu Yuting received the leadership of the party as he wished, and Yongcheng Guerrillas were also officially reorganized into the first corps of the New Fourth Army Guerrilla Detachment, with Lu Yuting personally serving as the commander.
The areas with Mangdang Mountain as the center and radiate 300 miles to all directions are included in the category of the Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Base Area of Mangdang Mountain.
General Peng Xuefeng
In late February 1940, Lu Yuting led his army to block the Japanese logistics forces at Xishan , smashed 2 cars for transporting materials, killed more than 30 enemies, and seized countless weapons, food, and supplies.
At the end of March, Lu Yuting discovered the Japanese military intelligence: Japan's "Emperor's Imperial Questioning Group" will personally go to Yongcheng, Hebei to condolences to the Japanese invaders.
Lu Yuting moved when he heard the news and organized all the officers, soldiers and soldiers of the First Corps to set up an ambush in advance. In one battle, he wiped out more than 300 Japanese troops in the Imperial Affairs Corps, seized 5 cars for transporting materials, and several military supplies of various types. He made great contributions and received special commendations from the New Fourth Army Headquarters.
won the first battle, and the morale of the entire army was booming. Lu Yuting took advantage of the opportunity to wipe out multiple Japanese and puppet army assembly strongholds around the Mangdangshan base, further consolidating and expanding the sphere of influence of the base.
Guerrillas
But the Japanese army was so angry that they suffered heavy losses. commander of the Japanese invaders in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, commander of the Japanese brigade invading China, , and called the elite Yoshino brigade in the same day:
"The Emperor's Imperial Questioning Regiment was wiped out, and our army's strongholds were removed, and they were defeated by a simple-equipped guerrillas. This is a great humiliation of the Imperial Army. Your troops immediately dispatched, trying every means, regardless of any cost, and must complete the task of encircling and suppressing the guerrillas in Lu Yuting's troops in the shortest time. In this battle, only victory is allowed but not defeat is allowed."
Yoshino brigade was very cunning. After receiving the order, it did not attack blindly at the first time. Instead, it took the lead in sending a Japanese special agent team who was proficient in Chinese. With the assistance of the Japanese and puppet troops and traitors, it formed a reconnaissance team and went deep into nearby villages to find out the news.
Japanese special agents were broken into pieces, usually in groups of three or five, disguised as injured and separated from the large army. They entered a small mountain village on the edge of the anti-Japanese base in Mangdang Mountain to check the news about the Luyuting Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps.
Japanese special agent team
March 29, 1940, 3 A Japanese agent disguised as a wounded soldier of the New Fourth Army came to Moshan Village at the junction of Hubei and Henan.
The villagers looked at the agents covered in blood and wearing New Fourth Army uniforms and felt very distressed. They did not doubt that they were New Fourth Army soldiers who were injured in fighting with the Japanese army and separated from the large army.
Japanese agent team
not only warmly welcomed the three people to dinner, but also proposed to find a doctor in the town and county town to chat with them, but were stopped by one of the Japanese agents:
"Friends, don't be busy. We are all minor injuries, it's not a problem, there is no need to find a doctor. We have important top secret information and we must report it to our superiors.
But we had fought with the Japanese army before and got separated from the large army. Now we don’t know where they are going, but I’m so anxious. Friends, can you show us a way? We are not sure what to do. "
The villagers were very moved when they looked at the anxious mood of the three people and exclaimed: "Comrades, you are all good. "
New Fourth Army asked fellow villagers for directions
At this time, an old man in the village suddenly spoke : "One big thing has to eat this meal before leaving. You are our workers and peasants' soldiers. Now that the soldiers are home, how can they not eat?
As for you want to find a large army, you are asking the right person. Some time ago, we had just sent food to the New Fourth Army's guerrilla corps. They were hiding at the main peak of Mangdang Mountain. You can eat first. When you have enough, I will give you the way. "
Because the villagers had also encountered the New Fourth Army soldiers being injured and lost from the large army before, they had no doubts this time.
New Fourth Army and the common people
No one would have thought that these three injured New Fourth Army soldiers were actually disguised by Japanese agents. Otherwise, even if they were killed, they would definitely not expose the position of the guerrilla corps.
And after defrauding the villagers of their trust, the Japanese agents immediately reported the discovered intelligence in detail to the Yoshino Brigade Command. , it was a long night and dreams. Colonel Yoshino immediately led more than 3,500 people to Mangdang Mountain, surrounding the New Fourth Army guerrilla team without any defense.
Japanese special forces
Early in the morning of April 1, 1940, the sky was just dawn. The sentry arranged by the guerrilla team suddenly ran back to the base headquarters and said in a angrily manner:
"Report, report to the captain of the corps, something happened. We just reconnaissed that there are already a large number of Japanese and puppet troops. They touched the main peak of Mangdang Mountain at night. It seemed that there were more than 3,000 people. We were surrounded. What should we do? "
"What did you say? Surrounded by more than 3,000 Japanese troops? " Guerrilla Captain Lu Yuting was shocked, and suddenly stood up and came to the map: "How did they know we were here? Could it be that there are traitors in the team? "
Guerrillas
Now a big battle is inevitable. Lu Yuting didn't have time to infer it carefully, so he immediately started to organize the team and issued an order:
" There are all, and now the Japanese army has already touched it, and we must not sit and wait for death. Now we start to follow the usual formations, relying on the favorable terrain of Mangdang Mountain to build three defensive formations, blocking the Japanese army while retreating in an orderly manner.Instruct all departments to be prepared to break through at any time.
Our strength is limited, we must preserve our strength, and we must never confront the Japanese army head-on. As long as the time comes, everyone must jump out of the encirclement as soon as possible. Do you understand? "
New Fourth Army
Lu Yuting gave the order, the main army of the guerrilla corps of took the lead and broke through to Beizonglou first. Lu Yuting personally led the people behind the hall. While attracting the Japanese army, he led the river to the south of of the king of .
In the end, the main army fought hard to break through a path of blood in the midst of many sieges and finally completed the task of breaking through. However, because Lu Yuting had to undertake the task behind the palace and retreated, it was difficult to open the gap with the Japanese army.
When he finally retreated to Liheilou Village in panic, he was completely trapped in the Japanese army's encirclement and it was difficult to escape.
, Lu Yuting still did not give up hope, and led everyone to rely on the village houses to stubbornly block the sight after dark, and wait for an opportunity to break through.
New Fourth Army
, but the cruel reality gave Lu Yuting a cold blow. Although he led his troops to repel the Japanese army's three charges, the soldiers also began to He was in a dilemma of exhausting ammunition and food, so in the end, he had no hope of breaking through.
Lu Yuting's eyes were congested. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he was ready to sacrifice his life to fight to the death.
Japanese army charge
"Lu Zhengxin, come here. " Lu Yuting called out the correspondent who had been following him. This is a good young man. He was only 14 years old and had experienced many battles. Lu Yuting really didn't want to see him die with him:
"This is an important top-secret information of our army. You can find a way to hide the information, and then disguise yourself as the common people and escape. After the battle here is over, you come back and take the information away. Remember, you have to live well and hand over the information to the party. "
Although Lu Zhengxin is young, he also knows that this battle is almost lifeless. Captain Lu Yuting is giving himself a hope of escaping.
communication officer
"Captain, I..." Lu Zhengxin cried out.
"Shut up, hold it back. " Lu Yuting turned around and stopped looking at him: " A man is a real man, why are you crying? I'm so annoyed. Now I'm taking the things and getting out of here. Don't look back. Remember, you must complete the last task I assigned you. "
Seeing Lu Zhengxin running away with tears in his eyes, a gratified smile streaked across Lu Yuting's face: "Comrades, the Japanese army is here, are you afraid? " Lu Yuting asked loudly.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
"Then let's fight them. " Lu Yuting picked up the gun, pulled the bolt, loaded the bullets, and prepared to enter a new round of battle.
New Fourth Army blocked the Japanese army
Faced with the Japanese charges launched again and again, Lu Yuting pressed back tenaciously. At about 6 o'clock in the evening, there were only a dozen people left by Lu Yuting, and almost all the troops were destroyed.
Lu Yuting looked at them quietly and issued the final order: "It's almost dark, I will take the seriously wounded to defend the position. All the rest of you can go. If you can live, you will be counted as one. "
"Captain, we won't leave, you will leave first if we want to leave..." Before the soldiers finished speaking, Lu Yuting rushed out of the position with his gun and fought with the Japanese army.
New Fourth Army prepares for battle
The next day, the main army of repelled the Japanese army and returned to Liheilou Village again, but only found Lu Yuting's body full of holes. His whole body was penetrated by bullets, completely lost his breath, and he had already died heroically for his country.
Is the country’s destiny sad? During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Lu Yuting was already the captain of 3,000 people. If he could survive until , after the founding of of New China, he would inevitably be a founding general of New China, and at least he could become a lieutenant general. It’s a pity that nothing is possible,
Luyuting Martyrs Cemetery
